Acts 7:13 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 7:13

And at the second time Joseph was made known to his
brethren
That is, when the brethren of Joseph went a second time down to Egypt for corn, Joseph made himself known unto them, ( Genesis 45:1 ) .

And Joseph's kindred was made known unto Pharaoh;
for though it was known before that he was an Hebrew, see ( Genesis 39:17 ) ( 41:12 ) yet it was not known of what family he was, who was his father, or his brethren, but now it was known, ( Genesis 45:16 ) .

11 Then a famine throughout Egypt and Canaan brought a lot of suffering. Our ancestors couldn't find any food.
12 When Jacob heard that Egypt had food, he sent our ancestors there. That was their first trip.
13 On the second trip, Joseph told his brothers who he was, and Pharaoh learned about Joseph's family.
14 Joseph sent for his father Jacob and his relatives, 75 people in all.
15 So Jacob went to Egypt, and he and our ancestors died there.
